Week One Homework: Dream Jobs

You may not have known it, but I actually was a bus driver
for about six years while I was studying in college.
I can't say I felt very prestigious doing it, though.

Your first assignment for this week is to write a couple of paragraphs on your blog. Since we were talking about dream and nightmare jobs, I'd like you to write your thoughts about what you think the perfect job for you would be, and why. For example, if you think your ideal job would be driving buses, explain what aspects of your personal goals, personality, or career wishes make that job ideal for you. Alternately, you could talk about your "nightmare" job, if you prefer. Also, comment about whether the job you mention carries prestige with it in Costa Rica. If so (or if not), is it prestigious in other parts of the world? Explain.

Please finish your blog post by noon on Friday, so that I'll have time to read and comment on them. You can also feel free to check out your classmates' blogs and leave comments.

For your second assignment, I'd like you to complete exercises 3 and 4 on page 7 of your text; in the workbook, please do pages 5, 6, and 7. We may not have a lot of time to review these during our next class, but if you have any questions about these exercises, be sure to ask them.

I'll be excited to read and comment on your blog posts this week! Take care, and see you on Saturday!
